first time i heard it (pappy mix), i thought "uh oh... richard's been 
talking to trent too much lately..." the prodigy thing never even 
crossed my mind, but i definitely thought it sounded like nine inch 
nails. and even as much as there are some really annoying parts to it, i 
agree with gonzi - it *is* catchy, even with those stupid howls during 
one of the bridge (?) sections. in fact, the only track that doesn't 
have any musical merit for me is the mummy mix, and that gets some 
redemption from "you've got so many machines, richard!"

now i wish i had brought it to work with me. oh well. have to settle for 
the new plaid, which i really like so far, by the way. myopia is just 
great. i love the way the vocals towards the end go from sounding 
ominous to uplifting. need to go listen some more.

alan!
